Buried deep under blood and skin   A whisper a tempest is raging from within   I hold my breath bitter proud   Afraid to scream fire in the middle of a crowd   I ponder incision envision the brain   I beckon the surgeon to a slice against the grain   now that I've waisted you   the white room is pure the doctors are brave   If there's a cure I want to be saved   Sanctuary      Under the knife sharp and shiny key   Repair redeem resurrection   Under the knife they'll cut you out of me   Maybe love's imitation is life under the knife      I have come to determine a reasonable doubt   Where heaven and hell draw their boundary lines about   Now that I've waisted you now that I've tasted you   The white room had frost on the cold window pane   Your love had been lost my love was in vain   Sanctuary      Cynical splices stitch and install   Solder the filaments I feel nothing at all   Second wind secrets let them rise let them fall   I'll walk through your firestorm but never never crawl   The gambler lives the blood stain dries   It's time to forgive I open my eyes   Sanctuary
